Gilgit (GB Times): Sadia Danish, the most active women member of Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly (GBLA) who is advisor for tourism, youth and culture has taken a strong notice of a false case of gang rape by influential people in a remote village of Rundu, that appeared in the local media. The supreme Appellate Court of Gilgit-Baltistan had taken a Somoto action on it.

She further mentioned that “she is very sorry for the women who were falsely involved in the case; she assured the women her full support and stated that the people involved in the making of this false report in the media should be brought to the justice.”
